Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to manage the costume realisation process for screen, media and entertainment productions.It applies to individuals who work in pre-production and determine the number of characters and costumes required. They develop costume plots and manage the process of constructing or acquiring costumes. They work independently and in a supervisory role to achieve the required costume outcomes.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:

a costume studio

materials, components and equipment.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
